At IBC TeamCast is showing Vortex, a rack-mounted modulator/exciter for DTT that supports both ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 modulation waveforms.
Features include a Digital Adaptive Pre-correction mechanism, Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and the monitoring of key transmitting performance figures such as Forward Transmitted Power, Reflected Power, Shoulder levels and MER.
Based on TeamCast’s third generation ATSC 1.0 modulation core, VORTEX provides a potential upgrade path to ATSC 3.0, when the standard is approved, via the installation of a software license.
Vortex was shown earlier in 2015 working in pre-ATSC 3.0 environments in collaboration with Samsung, OneMedia and Comark.
